Maybe next time. Look forward to meeting you one day

Badges should be current. If you attended and nothing is showing up, let me know and I will add it.

Your not too far away Ben. Perhaps a roadtrip at some point.

I finally got a chance to look at this thread. Pretty awesome stuff - thanks for the info and pics! Congrats to Del and to everyone who made it to the event! Thanks to Kit for his work as well.

Oh and that metal band GB has my attention too!

The person in Houston who displayed his/her collection on the Flying Tiger surfboard on simulated water should get an extra prize for creativity.

That was Joe aka Royal Lion Museum of Sunglasses :)

he also had the 24K Timebomb, bought the #7 of the "Last Ten Timebomb II" lastnight, had the Blends, BKRWs, Pettersons, the St Patricks Day Frogz and both Houston Exclusive Hand Painted Concept Studio Jawbones and Radars!

Is he on the O-Review? If not, he should be. Great stuff.

The hand stitched leather Detonator was my favorite watch there as it looked like the Wombat/Medusa!

Believe it's this guy, so hopefully he stops by and says hi.

Dann said he joined a few weeks ago but I don't think he's posted much :(

But Joe was a super down to earth dude and even though my friend Victor, the Bearded Wonder, couldn't make it I found a new friend in him who by chance also had a beard ;)

Agreed. I'm surprised at how little Oakley apparel I'm seeing at the events.

Great attire. Afterall part of your collection is what you wear. - GRFMotorsports

Doesn't anyone own Uncle Ben's Jacket. Would fit the dressy casual, and Oakley themed requirements.

If I make it to one, I'll reverse the trend!

Looking forward to the event tomorrow. Houston and Hollywood have looked like a great time.

THANK YOU FOR THE PICTURE AND KIND WORDS MATT!

I really enjoyed meeting you and since my +1 was ill also it was great hanging out!

The Oakley Houston Collector Event was AMAZING! I was so busy setting up and taking down the Collection and meeting the wonderful people from Oakley that I only took a few pictures, but I will post them later this evening.

Someone I see asked about the Last 10 Time Bombs. Chris Petrillo, the Category Manager for Oakley Watches was there at the Houston Collector event. Chris mentioned that there were 12 left in stock, so he had the idea that they should do something special with them. They gave 2 of them to Employees, and then the other 10 they had the special Carbon Fiber Interior Faceplate made and decided that they only wanted them to go to true Collectors, and not released to the general public, hence why they are only being brought to the Collector Events for purchase. Chris brought #7 and #8 to the Houston Collector Event.

Cheers!

It was the whole "Dressy Casual" thing sent out in the RSVP which is why I asked the manager, I think his name was Jason, what was acceptable for the night but when he said we could wear anything Oakley related I really wanted to wear my Mad Scientist Hoodie and old school shoes!

Yay! You're here Royal Lion Museum of Sunglasses :) It was really great meeting you Joe! And as both of our +1's were sick and couldn't make it, I'm glad I had you to lean on and talk to for the night!

Great stuff Joe and welcome. I would love to see some close ups of your collection some time.

What an amazing site Dann!!! I AM SO IMPRESSED!!!! WOWZERS!!!

To .Greg F.: I only recently started up a Facebook page called the "Royal Lion Museum of Sunglasses." Not much on it yet, but I will be posting more in the future as time allows. The Holidays are my busy season with my photography business.

Here are some from Hollywood

Might need to adjust the privacy to public. Facebook linking is always dodgy.

And thanks for the support Joe. Matt had great things to say, and I followed your page on Facebook, so I'll continue to see what you have to share with us. Some great stuff already on there.

Oh! I REALLY need to say this!

For those of y'all going to the Frisco event, be sure and bring a silver of gold Sharpie for autographs!

Thankfully Royal Lion Museum of Sunglasses had a gold one lastnight and I think we all used it cause it was the only one that would show up on black lol!

Since the watch guru is in attendance, any chance you can ask about the Godwatch? Specifically, why is it $70k and what movement does it use?
